The Voyant framework is the open-source foundation of the platform. It is a workspace of composable packages that model the travel business, plus first-party starter apps that compose them into something you can deploy. It is built for online travel agencies, tour operators, and destination management companies. Rather than a generic e-commerce engine bent into travel shape, it ships a normalized travel operations data model and headless domain modules for the whole commercial chain: catalog, commerce, inventory, operations, relationships, quotes, bookings, finance, distribution, legal, charters, cruises, accommodation resale, and more.

What you get

  • Deployable application shells, not just isolated packages. The starters are real apps you can ship.
  • A normalized travel operations data model on PostgreSQL and Drizzle.
  • Headless domain modules you compose into your own platform.
  • A Hono-based API transport layer with optional route helpers.
  • Durable, step-based workflow orchestration that runs on your own infrastructure or on Voyant Cloud’s hosted runtime.
  • Versioned React packages per domain (relationships-react, inventory-react, commerce-react, bookings-react, and so on) that wrap each module’s HTTP contract.
  • Optional integrations for payments, e-invoicing, storage, CMS sync, and notifications, shipped as plugins.

Starters

Voyant ships a first-party starter you scaffold from with the CLI:

The framework surface

The packages fall into a few families.

Core platform

The runtime and tooling every app uses: @voyant-travel/core, @voyant-travel/db, @voyant-travel/hono, @voyant-travel/react, @voyant-travel/auth, @voyant-travel/types, @voyant-travel/utils, @voyant-travel/storage, @voyant-travel/i18n, and the @voyant-travel/cli.

Travel domain modules

The headless business logic. Each module owns one subdomain such as @voyant-travel/catalog, @voyant-travel/bookings, or @voyant-travel/finance. See the full module catalog.

Workflows

Durable orchestration: @voyant-travel/workflows (the authoring SDK) and @voyant-travel/workflows-orchestrator (the engine and self-host runtime). See Workflows.

UI and React families

Every domain module has a matching -react package that owns hooks, clients, providers, query keys, view-model helpers, and reusable components. The shared admin shell lives in @voyant-travel/admin, and cross-cutting UI primitives in @voyant-travel/ui.

Plugins

First-party integration bundles: @voyant-travel/plugin-netopia (payments), @voyant-travel/plugin-smartbill (e-invoicing), @voyant-travel/plugin-payload-cms and @voyant-travel/plugin-sanity-cms (CMS sync).

Architecture principles

Voyant keeps a strict separation of concerns:
  • Packages hold reusable business logic, schemas, services, routes, adapters, and contracts.
  • Starters and app shells own UI, auth wiring, deployment shape, and runtime configuration.
  • Core packages stay framework-agnostic even though the first-party starters use React, TanStack Start, Hono, Better Auth, and Cloudflare Workers.
  • Transport adapters stay thin and call shared domain services rather than owning business logic.
  • Workflow business logic ships as plain SDK packages; orchestrator and runner apps wrap them for a given runtime.
The tenancy model is one Postgres database and one runtime per organization, with isolation enforced at the deployment boundary. See Architecture for the reasoning.

Accommodation, deliberately scoped

Voyant supports accommodation as catalog inventory for resale, packaging, and trip composition. It is not a hotel property-management system and does not position itself as first-party hotel operations. Accommodation shows up as sourced inventory, as a component of a product, or as a place reference, never as a PMS.
